Why do so many republican commit sexual acts against children? Today’s article is certainly not for the weak. Many people get so disgusted with the topic, they are unable to read about it. At eye level, the article is about a republican arrested because of his stash of child pornography. Essentially though, the article is about the steaming hypocrisy of the republican party. Time and time again, these alleged pilots of virtue, sink so low as to succumb to the most vile dregs of life. Very rarely, we will read about a democrat arrested for some crime, though never for something as repulsive as child pornography.

It is different when a republican commits a crime, because they are so damn righteous. In fact, their pristine morality is why they were elected in the first place. There are lots of places in the country, where morality is the most important trait on the ballot. He has been married for 25 years. He goes to church every week. Plus, he volunteers and teaches carpentry in the school auditorium. What more do you need to be elected state senator? These people deserve to get douched.

Just yesterday, Charles Young, 69, former James City County, Virginia, Republican Party chairman was sentenced to 74 months in prison by a federal judge. 74 months may sound like a long time, but that was even less than prosecutors asked for!

After the 74 months, Young will have to register as a sex offender and be on supervised release for the remainder of his life. Assistant US Attorney Lisa McKeel said,

He was not ordered to pay a fine — which could have been up to $250,000 — and was not ordered to pay restitution to the victims. At least seven children were identified in the images lifted from his devices, Vagazette article

In terms of child pornography, four years is a slap on the wrist in Virginia. 121 months is usually the lower end of sentences. The judge also dropped nine of his 10 child pornography charges. However, Charles has a lot more things to worry about. Any crimes having to do with children are common prison targets. Being a former republican politician probably doesn’t help. Vagazette article

“I’d like first to recognize for my family the difficult circumstances I’ve put them through with my conduct — especially my wife who has done so many things for me,” Young said to his judge.

Charles’ son, Jared, 36, tipped off police after another relative discovered the trove of child porn on his father’s computer.

Jared Young told investigators he’d known about his father’s habit for 20 years, according to James City County General District Court documents. When the FBI arrested him Nov. 16, Charles Young admitted to watching it “since about 2002–2003,” according to federal court documents. Vagazette article

His wife, Sandra was on a school board when her husband was arrested. Sandra was asked to step off the school board. Though she was not accused of any crime, other board members felt it inappropriate that she remain, in light of her husband’s crimes. Sandra did take her husband to several school events, after discovering about her husband’s attraction to children. Sandra refused to step down.
